In 2019, REDARC's Lonsdale facility added 3,000m² of advanced manufacturing space in a $22 million development, enabling REDARC to increase its manufacturing capacity by 250%. The additional space now houses a new surface-mount technology line for loading electronic components, an electromagnetic compatibility chamber, and a vibration test lab. The vibration test lab enables highly accelerated lifetime testing of products, simulating 10 years of life in a reported span of two days. Three new universal collaborative robots ‘Cobots’ have also been purchased.^[12] In the same year, REDARC has also moved into the Defense sector and has planned to work with the UK-based advanced manufacturing company MARL International to manufacture and support special light emitting diodes (LED) to be installed on the Type 26 Global Combat Ship-Australia (GCS-A), if BAE Systems secured the SEA 5000 Future Frigates contract.^[13]
